The Rotel A14MKII integrated amplifier heads the redesigned 14 Series of audio components. The model has high technical characteristics and provides power of 80 W (8 Ohms) per channel. The flagship guarantees excellent quality music playback and provides the ability to connect signal sources via both analog and digital connectors. The built-in Bluetooth module with support for the aptX codec allows you to get great sound when wirelessly streaming.
The Rotel A14MKII AB-class amplifier is the most powerful in the series and features rich functionality. The power supply is equipped with a proprietary toroidal transformer and foil capacitors with perforated plates (slit-foil capacitors). This design makes it possible to effortlessly handle heavy loads and dynamic peaks when transmitting an amplified signal. The contours of the model use carefully selected elements to ensure a minimum of distortion.
The Rotel A14MKII is equipped with a modern Texas Instruments digital-to-analog converter with a resolution of 32-bit/384kHz and supports MQA and MQA Studio formats (up to 24-bit/384kHz) when connected to a computer. LPCM reception up to 24 bit/192 kHz is available via S/PDIF connectors. The device is equipped with a remote control, and as an alternative, you can use a proprietary application for iOS or Android devices.
The design of the model is distinguished by neatness and clean lines. In the center of the aluminum facade there is an LCD display and 9 source selector buttons. The left side is occupied by a power button with an LED diode, USB with support for Apple devices, a mini-jack for headphones and buttons for selecting speaker sets. To the right is the volume knob and keys for working with the menu (setting tones, balance, turning off the tone block, etc.).
There is a full set of inputs: five analog RCA, incl. MM phono preamplifier connectors, two each coaxial and optical, PC-USB for PC or Mac (2 modes available: normal and asynchronous). There is a Pre Out and USB port that only charges and powers portable devices. There is a LAN port for integration into a local network in order to implement the ability to control by IP address and update software. There are trigger outputs, system bus connectors, IR input and RS-232 interface.
